Does anyone have access to someone at the Experimental Panel Builder Site?
Is this Site still being supported? I have Emailed them several time over
the last 3 months, to have the Garmin 196 ADDED to GPS Group, but it is
still a NO SHOW.

Can someone tell me if the F-999 are part of the fuse or finish kit. They
are the pieces that close the gap between wing and fuse? Do you fabricate
them or are they pre cut. Also, Do the platenuts and screws for them and the
rubber strip come with fuse or finish kit? (From this you will gather I have
none of the above.)
Thanks, Steve.

Seasons greetings to you all!
Do the drain valves screw home or are they designed so the threads lock up
so there is no leak. Mine only seem to screw in a short distance.
Thanks, Steve.

Garry / Barry - thanks. I think the spelling of Odyssey was EXACTLY the
problem! Best wishes for 2003, Steve

Steve......order this:ES PC680 INSTALL KIT BATTERY MOUNT ODYSSEY
$50.00
Here is how you find that sort of thing: Go to
http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/parts.txt
and then use the "find on this page" option in the edit menu of your browser
to search that list for what you want. But you have to spell "Odyssey"
correctly!
Happy Holidays to all y'all.

The easiest way to find this out is to look in the
preview plans parts index. F-999 (wing root fairing)
is listed as being in the finishing kit. It is listed
as "manufactured" which means it is a pre cut part (as
opposed to "material" which would be a fabricate-it-yourself
part).
I don't have my finishing kit just yet, but I would hazard
a guess that the platenuts, screws, etc come with that kit.
I don't recall having any weather stripping in the fuse kit.
If you don't have the preview plans, I would recommend getting
them. I have found the parts index as well as the ability to
read ahead to future tasks very handy.
- Tim.

Ollie,
There are a lot of users of the EIS monitor. Myself included. I believe
just about all of us using an Eggenfellner Subaru are installing the EIS
monitor and, in my opinion, it is the best bang for the buck.
The only bad thing I could say is that it doesn't look as sophisticated as
some of the more expensive monitor out there, but I guess you get what you
pay for and in this case, you get a lot.
To make the EIS monitor fit in a panel layout more gracefully, I decided
to make an option for it for my Modular Panel.
www.affordablepanels.com/new_products.html . (Sorry for the plug). I am
only giving ou the link so that you can get some ideas in how to fit the
look of the EIS in your layout. As a matter of fact, quite a few builders
have e-mailed me telling me that they saw the EIS option on my website, and
they are adapting a version of their own in Van's panel.
Good luck!
Regards,
Fabian Lefler

They are 1/8 NPT - tapered pipe threads. They do only screw in a few
threads. The "proper" (according to Parker) way to install pipe threads
is to use a little thread sealer (teflon tape or teflon pipe dope) being
careful not to allow any loose pieces to get inside the tank, screw the
valve into the fitting by hand and then use a wrench to tighten it two
more turns.

Do not use Teflon Tape on oil/gasoline fittings. The paste stuff will work, usually
even if it has Teflon in it.
Teflon tape will wait an inappropriate amount of time, then begin annoying leaks
that slowly get worse. I had this happen on my fuel oil plumbing in my house.
Every joint eventually failed with the tape.

NEVER EVER use Teflon tape on any system that has small orifices such as
fuel, oil, hydraulic, or vacuum. The pieces that can get loose especially
on the second screw in of a fitting can cause major problems. Even engine
stoppage. It will even void the warrantee on your vacuum pump. The use of
pipe dope even with Teflon powder is a much better solution.

Be careful... I do not recommend using teflon tape in any fuel nor hydraulic
(brakes) systems. It is amazing how that stuff can get into and plug
orifices.

Hi Steve,
When I installed my drain valves I coated the threads with Feel lube (
Aircraft Spruce,P/N 09-25300).
It is a general purpose product originally used to lubricate fuel selector
valves but is also good to seal threads, lubricate and seal gaskets etc.
I used it to seal the gaskets for the fuel gauge sender units on the fuel
tanks and when tested my tanks did not leak.
